I finally did it!

I have been putting this off for so long...

I finally cut Jellybeans hair! I have neglected her hair for far too long. I have been so patiently waiting for her sides of her hair to SLOWLY grow. Well they just don't seem to grow. I could only do her hair curly because of how awful it looks straight. So yesterday morning after her bath I decided to give her a little trim. I ended up giving her shorter bangs, which were down to her chin, and cut almost 2 inches off the back. I didn't want her to have bangs until her hair thickened up, but they are always in her eyes. I really wanted to stack the back of her hair but since her sides are not very long I decided against it. I have to round brush her hair in order for me to do it straight. I won't be doing this every day but it is so nice for a change. She looks so grown up! These pictures are really hard to see her hair cut but it's the best I could do. She wouldn't hold still at the house. Plus you get the wind blown look while she swings.

I think the poor girl is going to be cursed with my thin hair. I guess we still have a little time for her hair to grow in thicker. It's not looking good for her though.

11 MONTHS

Jellybean is 11 months old today!!

I can't believe she is almost a whole year old! She is getting cuter by the day. She has such a silly little personality. It's amazing how much she is learning everyday.

Here are a few things about her....

• She weighs 19 lbs
• She has 0 teeth
• She doesn't crawl or walk
• She loves to listen and dance to music
• She is a really good eater
• Her favorite food right now is pasta
• She finally figured out how to drink out of a straw and a sippie cup (no more bottle!)
• She likes to sleep in her moms bed (making me crazy!!)
• She is still a very good sleeper
• She takes 2 naps a day
• She is extremely fascinated with her tongue
  

I took these pictures of her yesterday. In the suburb we live in there is a cute historic downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants. There is a river walk with a couple of really cool bridges. I didn't really get the pictures I wanted because she was more interested in picking dirt out of the cracks of the bridge. But it was a very fun day!

We are trying to get our house put together still. We got our T.V. room primed and painted just in time for Comcast to set up and my new furniture to be delivered today! It's coming in 1 hour! It's been so hard to be disconnected from the world. I hate sitting at my dinning room table to relax.

I don't love the house we live in but I'm trying to work with it. The sad thing is we are going to be moving in another year again! :(
It is so much work to move. I will post pictures of the house as soon as I get it done. Maybe in October it will be fully decorated. ( no promises!!)

I know I said that I was going to cut Jellybean's hair but it was making me crazy! I was letting her look ragged in hopes it would grow out. Her hair is still to fine to grow long. I only cut around the edges. She still rubs her hair in the back so the sides of her neck were longer than the center. It still has a ledge like a layer that she rubs off that I hate. But at least it looks better than it did.

All of this hair is just off her neckline! I can't believe it was that long. Too bad her sides and her bangs don't grow.
